Those kids didn't earn that candy so how is it unfair to redistribute it?

And what's with all of this "me, mine" stuff? It teaches kids to be selfish not to mention look at how attached they get to something so stupid and destructive as candy. Is just silly to teach them to get so attached to anything.

OP, like the 'comedian' are simply put, not very intelligent, and much like the GOP talking heads, are simply trying to use a horribly inaccurate, and frankly dishonest analogy to try to appeal to the misguided ideas of those even dumber than they are.

Allow me to explain;

The question of 'redistributing wealth', as stated in the very quotes within that video, is of asking the rich to pay the same share of taxes as everyone else. Their 'fair share'.

If you are to make the (again, shockingly unintelligent) analogy of comparing taxes to kids and their Halloween candy, this would be a more accurate setup;

ALL the kids are required by pay back a certain percentage of the candy they received to pay for the shuttle van that carried them around all night. The kids who gathered up 1 bag of candy all have to pay 30% of their candy into the van fund.

But the kids who gathered up 3 bags of candy only have to pay 15% of their candy into the van fund.

Now go ask the kids if that's fair and see what kind of answers you get.

You poor people are just so, so dumb. You lack the mental skills to even evaluate the validity of an analogy.

Well well well, have I got some BAD NEWS for you. Let's say that ONE BAG of candy weighs 16 oz/ @ 30% 'Van Tax' = 4.8 oz. taken from kid with only one bag.

Generosity Encouraged1 And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 2 Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. 5 And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God’s will. 6 So we urged Titus, since he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. 7 But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us [fn1] —see that you also excel in this grace of giving.8 I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.10 And here is my advice about what is best for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. 11 Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. 12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, 15 as it is written: “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little.”

Man is twisting things and corrupting goodness to where it looks like evil.

Man does not know how to create a system where no one is in need.

Why? Because some hearts are lazy and some hearts are greedy. It ain't gonna work without the heart of man having the Holy Spirit of God to guide them.

Until then, stay lost in Babble-ON (Babylon) and quabble over the confusion and videos meant to keep you in derision.

Yes, the Bible encourages us to be generous to those less fortunate than ourselves. But it is a CHOICE, of our own FREE WILL. It DOESN'T say that Caesar should march in with swords, spears, and men with clipboards to TAKE what has been earned, skim a tidy vigorish off the top, and then re-distribute it to his toga buddies in the bath-house while throwing a few crumbs back to those who worked from sunrise to sunset.

"I have come to the conclusion that all news should be treated like 9/11, assume it is a psyop with actors participating in a staged event complete with props, until proven otherwise, in which case assume whatever is being recorded, reported, televised, is distortions/lying by omission/outright lies, until proven otherwise." - Anonymous, 4-13-12

The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Romans 13:11

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22

Wake up, oh sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you

The religion of submission cannot survive an open and honest discussion of its convoluted and foolish scriptures, its sexually perverted terrorist prophet, or its deceitful and demented god. When Western leaders become unified and resolute in their hostility to Islam's violent and ungodly beginnings, Muslims will flee the religion because they will be horrified by its endorsement of terrorism, mass murder, slave trading, plunder, kidnapping, and rape.

Also, and again, you'd realize this if you were smarter, our countries are economically interdependent. This is why China is no longer a viable military opponent for you either, fyi. Because even a brief interruption in trade would crash each party's economy. Wars are not fought because dumb, aggressive monkeys like you get a hard on to kick some ass, they're fought strategically, for self-benefit. Invading a peaceful nation, whom you rely on for trade, that is also an ally with all of your other allies, would be economically and socially crippling on all fronts.

If you truly believe that...then your critical thinking skills are truly flawed. Its funny, because they make little things like this just to test how low a person's threshold is for intelligent debate.

They literally have to dumb stuff down to a 3rd grade level just to appeal to the masses.

In an “Obama-style” Halloween prank, Fox News contributor, actor and comedian Steven Crowder paid a visit to young trick-or-treaters at a local church’s “trunk or treat” event and attempted to “redistribute” their candy to make the system more “fair.” In the video, Crowder, dressed in a monkey costume, says the stunt is an attempt to teach kids about the American tax system.

it's a lame prank referring to wealth redistribution from the top five percent down, a large part of middle class developement in history. the right wing US media has twisted this into some evil communist notion of wealth redistrubution in a very cynical way, which then gets repeated parrot-style by mindless right-wing people. Wealth redistribution is simply the process of creating a more equitable society with a bigger middle class via higher taxes on the wealthy. Americans really need to stop allowing right wing media interests from fucking their interests big-time.
